Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
We have in our files a transcript of the claim for pension of DANIEL ELLIS (Invalid No. 35912), on which it is noted that his residence was New Brunswick, New Jersey, at the time of his military activities, and that he took affidavit in Mercer County, Kentucky, in 1820.
The service claimed was in Captain Ross's Company, Third Regiment, New Jersey Continental Line, which is corroborated by documentary evidence contemporary with the period of the Revolutionary War.
Descendants of the man who performed this service claim that their ancestor died in 1794, and, in order that the question may be definitely settled, it is requested that this office be advised whether the original claim shows the information noted on our copy, and furnished with any other facts, in addition to his service, which may appear on the veteran's affidavit.
Very truly yours,
Frederick Gilkerson Brigadier General, The Adjutant General.

Brigadier General Frederick Gilkyson Office of the Adjutant General Trenton, N.J.
Sir:
I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 35912, it appears that DANIEL ELLIS enlisted at Brunswick, New Jersey, in the spring of 1777 and served four years as a private in Captain John Ross' Company in Colonel Dayton's New Jersey Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 11, 1818, at which time he was living in Mercer County, Kentucky.
In 1820 he stated that he had a wife but he did not give her name.
He died March 2, 1824.
The age of this soldier is not given in the papers of his pension claim.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner
